Title: Improvements in and relating to Carburetors.
Inventor: LUDWIG ARNSON
IPC: F02M7/133
Filed: 1912-09-18
Abstract: 21,247. Arnson, L. Sept. 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Spray carburettors.-Fuel is supplied through two nozzles the flow through one of which increases as usual with the suction, whereas the flow through the other nozzle is automatically controlled so as to decrease as the suction increases. The nozzles 6, 7 are fed from the float-chamber 8 through passages 9, 10 respectively. The passage 9 is uncontrolled, but the passage 10 is controlled by a valve 18 carried by a float 17 resting upon a liquid 16 denser than, and not miscible with, the fuel. The liquid 16 stands in a tube 13 enclosed in a chamber 12 which communicates with the suction passage through an orifice 11. Tbus on an increase of suction, liquid rises in the tube 13 and falls at 16, thereby decreasing the flow past the valve 18 and through the nozzle 7.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cartridge Filling Machines.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: F42B33/02
Filed: 1913-05-05
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 10,592. Wade, H., [Pierce, H. M.]. May 5. Packing granular and like materials.-Relates to tamping-machines of the kind described in Specification 10,426/08, [Class 87, Moulding &c.], in which tamping-rods are reciprocated by friction gripping-devices which allow the rods to slip up gradually and then to be put out of action after a predetermined slip corresponding to the charge required in the cases within which the material is being tamped. According to the invention, the gripping-devices comprise rocking sectors adapted to be thrown in and out of action by toggle-links controlled by a loose stop-piece on the top of the tamping- rods, and by hand-operated cams. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the tamping-rods f are gripped between sectors i which are rocked by pins g on a cross-head d reciprocated by a connecting- rod e and an eccentric c on the main shaft b. The sectors i are pressed towards the rods bv springs k<2>, the pressure of which may be adjusted by screws k<3>, and are connected to togglelinks l coupled to sliding rods m, each carrying a pawl s. A stop o loose on each tamping-rod between the ends of a slot o<1> in the rod, is carried by the bottom of the slot o' over the pawl s when the corresponding cartridge is full, so that on the next downward stroke, when the top of the slot o<1> comes against the stop o, the pawl s, the rod m, and the toggle-link l, are pushed down against a stop n, and the sectors i away from the tamping-rod; these parts remain at rest in their new positions, on account of the fact that the toggle-links are then on the other side of their centre-line. When all the cartridges have been filled and all the tamps put out of action, the machine is re-started with the rocking grippers in their uppermost position, by turning a handle t<1> upwards, whereby cams r<1> deflect the pawls s to release the stop-pieces o, and simultaneously cams r bear under lugs m<1> and lift the rods m with their toggle-links, thus bringing the grippers again into action. In a modification, two tamping-rods are disposed between each pair of rocking grippers and are divided by a crossbar fixed to the reciprocating cross-head d; and the two arms l are also separated by a crossbar to become independent of each other, and are controlled by two sets of rods m and of cams r, r<1> worked by a common handle.

Abstract: 13,654. Fagerlund, E. A. June 14, 1912, [Convention date]. Switches.-A switch consists of a pivoted contact lever, separate push-buttons for operating it ' on ' and ' off ', and a permanent magnet for holding the contact lever in the circuitclosed position or in both the circuit-closed and open positions. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the lever 1 carries a contact 4 and springs 17 with push - buttons 6. When either button is depressed, the other one appears through a hole in the cover 7. A permanent magnet 3 holds the lever in both extreme positions. As an alternative, the lever may be magnetized and the bar 3 of magnetic material, or both may be magnetized. The stationary contacts consist of cylinders 5 mounted on springs 10 and partly protruding above brackets 12 which limit the following movement of the contacts. In a modification, the two push-buttons are mounted in two depressions of the cover, and projections on the buttons bear against the ends of the springs 17.
